Chapter 266: Closing the case and going to the top of Mount Tai together
Hu said: "Last night, the concubine had dinner and said good night to her mother-in-law, and then went back to the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info didn't stay in the house for long, the slave family felt dizzy, lay on the bed and fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, suddenly felt a movement in the house, although I could hear the sound in the house, but I couldn't wake up. I don't know how long it was, but when I woke up, I found myself naked with a strange man lying next to me. ”
"Nonsense, the man who sleeps next to you, you will not know. King Gao said, picking up her morning confession and looking at it carefully.
Hu Shi clutched his chest and argued: "The concubine really doesn't know this person. ”
"Okay, you move on. ”
In the confusion of the slave family, they saw a man lying next to him, and saw him naked, with a bowl-sized hole in his chest, and blood on it. After the slave screamed, he saw a man in black standing beside the bed with a bloodstained face. ”
When King Gao heard this, he said, "Wait. Hu Shi, the man in black you are talking about, there is not a word in your confession in the morning. ”
Hu Shi lowered his head and said: "The slave family was frightened last night, and his mind was confused for a while, and he just remembered it at this time. ”
"That's very good, so let's talk about it quickly. Sheng Yong next to him got up and said.
King Gao coughed lightly, Sheng Yong hurriedly sat down, bowed his head and said nothing.
King Gao said: "Speak." ”
I saw that the man in black had a bloody face and a sharp blade in his hand, and was about to kill the little woman. At this time, it happened that the family outside the courtyard lit torches and rushed here when they heard the sound. When the man in black saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and fled. “
"So, have you seen the face of this murderer?" asked King Gao.
Hu Shi nodded lightly, his eyes looking directly at Yang Zixu.
Yang Zixu suddenly felt cold, could it be that this Hu family wanted to frame himself as a murderer?
"Who is the murderer?" asked King Gao.
"It's the Jinyi Guard who fled in the morning. Hu said in a low voice.
"Hu Shi, are you talking about the snake six, why didn't you recognize him when you identified him in the morning?" asked King Gao.
"Back to His Highness, his face was covered with blood last night, and his face was hideous. This morning, however, he was well-dressed, and he really didn't recognize it. It wasn't until he stripped off and escaped that the slave family thought about it carefully, and the murderer with a bloody face was eight or nine points similar to him, thinking that it should be him. “
I saw that King Gao and Hu asked and answered, and after a while, the murderer was identified as Jinyi Wei Snake Liu, and the master had already handed over the confession to be transcribed, Hu looked at it, and then pressed his handprint.
King Gao said to the messenger below: "Go all out to hunt down the murderer Snake Six, whether you live or die, and reward a hundred taels of silver." “
When the officials heard this, they were all in an uproar, and their monthly salary was only one tael of silver, and this hundred taels of silver was enough to be a landlord.
I only heard Sheng Yong say: "The criminal is strong in martial arts, you have to be careful, otherwise this silver will be earned by life and spent without life." “
The officials received the portrait painted by the master, and then dispersed.
Several adults stepped forward to congratulate King Gao, praising him for his quick thinking, which was actually the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian.
And Yang Zixu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Early the next morning, the prefect Yu came to meet King Gao, and it turned out that the body of the snake six was found under the Thousand Buddha Mountain twenty miles southeast of the city.
After ascending to the court, King Gao examined the corpse of Snake Six, and due to the devouring of the beast, only a complete head and some stumps remained.
"How did he die?" asked King Gao.
Yu Zhifu said: "Back to Your Highness, I have examined the body, but only a head and a thigh are still complete, and I really can't find out the cause of death, but what is certain is that the murderer was not poisoned." “
"Why are you so sure?" asked King Gao.
A person next to him said: "Back to Your Highness, the villain is resentful." If the offender had taken poison, he would have left black marks in his mouth. And the villain has seen it, and there is no trace of poisoning in his mouth. “
"What if you have a hidden weapon such as a poisoned arrow on your body?" asked King Gao.
Na Yanzuo replied: "If you are hit by the hidden weapon of poison feeding, first of all, your face will also turn black or blue. Again, the beast that gnawed at the corpse would surely die violently. But for miles around the carcass, no dead beast was found. Therefore, the villain believes that this person must not have died of poisoning. “
"Makes sense, that's a good point. King Gao looked at the Snake Zuo and asked, "Then how do you think Snake Six died?"
"The villain doesn't dare to speculate. “
Say. King Gao said angrily.
He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Back to Your Highness, there are many fractures in this person's bones, which must not be caused by wild beasts, but by external forces." Judging from the scars on the deceased's face and the marks of broken bones, he should have fallen to his death on the mountain. “
Everyone listened to the words of resentment, and forcibly looked at the bones of the snake six with a few eyes, and sure enough, his bones, arm bones, ribs, pelvis, and thigh tibia were broken many places, even laymen could see that they must have been injured by external forces.
King Gao asked, "Lord Yu, do you think what you said is appropriate?"
Lord Yu looked at the corpse and said, "It is reasonable, it should be that when the criminal escaped, the night was dark and moonless, and he panicked on the mountain, and fell off the cliff and died." “
"Okay, since Lord Yu has no objection, then summon the Hu family to identify the prisoner. King Gao said.
After a while, Hu Shi came to the hall, and after she saw the body of Snake Six, she first fainted with fright, and after she woke up, she confirmed that Snake Six was the murderer, and then drew a charge to close the case.
As for who the murderer killed by Snake Six was, and how to enter the Yang Mansion, it is a separate case to investigate, and this matter has nothing to do with King Gao and others, so he is no longer involved.
That night, an autumn rain struck, and the Yang Mansion looked particularly bleak, Hu sat in front of the window, watching the autumn rain knock down the leaves, I don't know whether she was sad or memorizing, at this time, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind her......
The next day it was still dark, everyone rode a fast horse and went straight to Mount Tai, because Hua Ruoxi was pregnant and could not ride a horse, so he waited with Fei Yaman's four maids, and the coachman to wait until the sky was bright before slowly setting off and rushing to Mount Tai.
Waiting for everyone to rush to the southern foot of Mount Tai a hundred miles away, the sky was still dark at this time, Wei Tiqian, Yu Bing and the two adults had already been waiting here, and thousands of officers and soldiers sealed the entrance to the mountain, only allowed to go down the mountain, not to go up the mountain.
Dozens of strong porters knelt beside the ten palanquins and kowtowed to King Gao and the princess.
King Gao asked, "What are you doing with these sedan chairs?"
Yu Zhifu replied: "Your Highness, this Mount Tai is high and the road is steep, if you climb the mountain with your feet, ordinary people will have no strength when they reach the top of the mountain, so the minister has prepared ten sedan chairs." “
Nanping said: "Although this Mount Tai is high, it is not steep. The famous mountain that this princess has climbed, she can't count it on both hands, and I'm afraid that this Mount Tai will not succeed?"
Yu Bing saw that King Gao and the others had to walk, and he really didn't dare to sit in a sedan chair, so he had to say: "Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, the lower official is old and frail, and his body is sick, so he really can't climb the mountain to accompany King Gao to worship the sky." “
"It's okay, Lord Yu followed in a sedan chair. After King Gao finished speaking, he led a group of people straight to the top of the mountain and climbed.
